0 •CYCLIST KILLED; « MOTORISTS INJURED IN AREA ACCIDENTS (Continued from page 1) Wonder - Lake road, Wonder Lake, was ticketed for driving while intoxicated after his car ran into a ditch Wednesday afternoon on Route 176, Vfe mile west of Barreville road, south of McHenry. Kerkes' vehicle was eastx bound on the highway when the right front tire left the road, causing the vehicle to spin out and slide across the road into a ditch. A two-car collision Friday evening at 2004 N. Lincoln road just east of Chapel Hill road, McHenry, resulted in a ticket for improper registration being issued to Lawrence P. Greve of 707 Columbus, McHenry. Greve was stopped in the east-bound lane of Lincoln road waiting to make a left turn. When traffic cleared, he started his turn but did not see an approaching auto driven by Richard C. Stratford of 1509 Polk street, Ingleside, until impact occurred. Stratford was also east-bound on Lincoln and as he passed the Greve auto, it turned into the side of his car. Stratford said he saw no turn signals in operation. However, Greve stated he had his left arm ex­ tended indicating a left turn. A Chicago man and a Round Lake couple were transported to McHenry hospital by the. rescue squad last Wednesday morning after their cars at 620 W. Rand road, Lakemoor. Robert J. and Catheryn C. Deinlein of Route l, Round Lake, were injured, as was Henry C. Osuch of 6636 N. Odell, Chicago. Osuch was west-bound on 120 when the Deinlein auto pulled out of a parking lot directly into Osuch's path. Deinlein failed to see the other auto until impact took place. Deinlein was cited for failure to yield right of way. We've often observed that the people who have nothing much to do are usually very impatient.

A reader has asked our help in issuing an appeal to save our robin population. As presented to us, fruit growers in Canada are at­ tempting to have that govern­ ment permit a massive slaughter of the migratory birds to protect, in particular, the blueberry crop. The problem arose when a pesticide spraying program conducted in the Maritime provinces of Canada eliminated many of the insects on which the robins normally feed. This forced the birds to seek other sources. We are told that in the blueberry growing areas of our own country protective nets are used to cover the crops. But in Canada one farmer reportedly admitted to destroying 7,000 robins over a 2,000-acre area. If others are able to persuade the government to go along with the idea of sanctioning such slaughter, those of us who await the robin's cheery call may find that greeting less frequent next Spring. Letters or wires to Pierre Trudeau, Canada's prime minister, and Jack Davis, the environment minister, in Ot­ tawa, Canada, are asked. It's little enough to do for a migratory bird that has provided so much pleasure in both countries. K.A.F. ROOM!

CORN INSECTS Corn in the late-whorl to pollinating stage after Aug. 10 may have moderate to severe infestations of corn earworms and fall armyworms. Corn earworm moths prefer fresh silk to silting silks for egg- laying; and fall armyworm moths prefer the late-whorl stage. However, if these preferred sites are not present, these moths will deposit eggs in corn fields where corn development is closest to their choice. It is likely that both may be found in abundance in the same field. Low infestations of larvae in a large acreage of early to mid- season corn will supply large numbers of moths. They will concentrate their egg-laying in the smaller acreage of later corn. For this reason, some late fields may have enough in­ festations to cause very serious damage. Sprays of carbaryl (Sevin), diazinon, or Gardona are used. STALK ROTS Stalk rots are the most serious and widespread diseases of Illinois corn. Every year, stalk rots cause much of the lodging that occurs in corn and substantial yield losses. Several fungi and bacteria can cause stalk rot. In Illinois, however, most of the damage is caused by the fungi Diplodia zeae and Gibberella zeae.» Diplodia stalk rot ordinarily does not appear until several weeks after pollination. But once it appears, the infection continues to grow and cause further decay until harvest. The leaves that die first have a dull grayish-green cast, similar to that caused by frost damage. Stalks usually die 7 to 10 days later. After the stalk dies, small, black dots that cannot be scraped off with your thumb­ nail appear just below the surface tissue. Symptoms of Gibberella stalk rot are extremely similar to those of Diplodia. One way to distinguish the Gibberella from Diplodia is to split the stalk and look for a reddish discoloration. Stalk rot is increased by wet weather during August and September, especially if it is preceded by a dry summer. If this disease is present in your corn crop, fall winds and rain will likely increase lodging, making harvesting difficult. To control stalk rot it's im­ portant to maintain balanced soil fertility. Soils containing high amounts of organic matter and available nitrogen are likely to have a high incidence of stalk rot, especially if the potassium content is low. Stalk rot and lodging also increase with higher planting rates. Hybrids vary greatly in their resistance to stalk rot and stalk lodging. Plant the more resistant varieties. Several leaf-blight resistant inbreds are available and their use will also help reduce stalk rot. Hybrids that utilize the full growing season usually have less stalk rot than those that mature early.

Bolger Executive Vice President McHenry State Bank "You mean to tell me that all b&nks are not the same?" This question, in a variety of torms, has been repeated by a number of customers ever since we at McHenry State Bank began displaying our new "Independent Community Bank" symbol. Yes, we believe there is a big difference. A difference that is just as im­ portant to you as a consumer and to McHenry as a com­ munity as it is to us at the bank. For the most part, the work of a bank does not attract a great deal of notice, even though it can make the dif­ ference between stagnation and new vigor for a community. There is a major difference between stagnation and new vigor for a community. There is a major difference between independent community banks and banks which are part of large groups. McHenry State Bank is an independent com­ munity bank. Its ownership and management are centered here and the bank does well only if McHenry prospers. Members of multibank systems -- holding companies and branching systems - have headquarters in large cities, a widely dispersed ownership, and not nearly so basic a commitment to any single community. So what? What difference does this make to someone who lives and works in the McHenry area? It means for one thing that as long as there is an independent community bank operating here, the credit decisions that affect the business life of the community will be made right here with the interests of this town as a major factor in those decisions. It means that the money you leave on deposit will be loaned within this area and not funnelled back to some central point for lending mainly to giant corporations. It means that your bank knows the entire community, knows its needs and its people. As a result, we are aware of when money is going to be needed for all types of local business and we make sure it's available It also means that when someone has a financial decision to make, we know the town well enough to give him all the facts needed. In short, this is our town and we're tied to it with stronger bonds than any other business. A bank can't just pick up and move out. This column will be devoted in coming months to reports on interest rates, mortgages, automobile loans, taxes and other areas of life in which a bank can and should play a role in the life of its town I will also be reporting to you on developments within banking w hich may not come to your attention/through regular news reports but which affect the economic life of our town just the same Also, this column is a means for us at the bank to make what we do more easily understood by our customers So we welcome any questions you have on banking or economic issues in general Advertisement
